<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 983855, member: 16269&quot;]Over the course of about a year, the restaurant I work for has received a few counterfeit bills. One $10, two $20&#039;s and this past weekend a $100. All the notes were in the cashouts from the delivery drivers. The lower denominations couldn&#039;t be tracked back to the customers but the $100 was because it was the only large bill received that night and the customer requested change for $100. I was called in to examine it and was able to determine that it was in fact a fake. It was turned over to the police with the information and now Commercial Crimes is handling the investigation.</p><p><br /></p><p>The $10 and $20&#039;s were obvious photocopies but the the $100 was of decent enough quality that in low light it looked real. However, under magnification all the micro-printing was blurred and the colors were shifted. </p><p><br /></p><p>The $10 and $20&#039;s now reside in the Canadian Paper Money museum and are used to train bank employees and police to identify the different types of methods used to counterfeit banknotes. </p><p><br /></p><p>The $100 was confiscated by the police to be used in their investigation. </p><p><br /></p><p>These are all losses to the business</p><p><br /></p><p>Has anyone else come across counterfeit notes? </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, these were all Canadian bills. Canada has numerous security precautions incorporated in each of the banknotes and yet people are still able to produce them of reasonable quality to pass them off if the receiver doesn&#039;t check them.</p><p><span style="color: Red"><br /></span></p><p><span style="color: Red">Photocopy paper and bad color:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/c101.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">Glossy photocopy paper and the note was just a direct photocopy with no enhancement of the foil security strip:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/c20a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">Direct photocopy but the notice the addition of the partial teller&#039;s stamp for authenticity:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/fk205.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: Red">Soft paper and a decent photocopy but the colors had run and there is blurring and color shift:</span></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/100a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
